Take them to your veterinarian. He/she may treat this as a herd health problem which will likely save you alot of money.

As per what you can do at home in addition to the vet's workup, I"d keep them all in seperate cages, and as seperate from you existing collection as possible (different building ideal, seperate room if you can... far side of room is pushing it). Look up quarantine in previous posts. Make sure husbandry parameters are ideal, use a quarantine/hospital enclosure setup, and raise temps to the upper half of the prefered range. I'd aim for 85 on the cool side, and 95 hot side, perhaps a hotter basking spot if the snake is mobile and active. If the snake isn't moving much and lethargic, you'll need to be more precise and keep temps 86 to 88 as you don't want to cook it.
Don't forget to measure humidity and aim for around 75%
Good luck

Ian
